Policy Research and Education in Romanian Political Science: A Quantitative Look

Summary/Abstract: The paper maps from a quantitative perspective the place of policy research and education in Romanian political science. It starts from the assumption that public policy is a building block of political science and should have its place in both teaching and research in Romania. Moreover, it assumes that within policy research and education the emphasis should fall on the subfields which better contribute to the integration with the other building blocks. It assesses the place of policy education within the BA in political science degree requirements, the policy focus of MA programs, the policy-related output of the doctoral schools in political science, and the extent to which comprehensive political science journals give space to policy research. It finds convergence with international trends concerning policy education, while also pointing out a diminished presence of policy research in comprehensive journals and reduced interest in research topics with integrative potential.
